solid state shear pulverization sssp

Research. Publications. Alumni: Novel Materials Made by Solid-State Shear Pulverization. Solid-state shear pulverization (SSSP) is a novel mechanical process that uses a modified twin-screw extruder with cooling zones to maintain the polymer in the solid state during processing. High shear and compressive forces result in repeated fragmentation and fusion of polymer in the solid state ...

This book is the first extended look at a new and multifaceted polymer processing technology that has already been discussed in numerous articles. Called Solid-State Shear Pulverization (S3P), this innovative process produces polymeric powders with unique physical properties not found in the output ...
